Cancers

The probability of contracting a cancerous development depends on age, ethnicity and the existence, or non-existence, of environmental causation. Unlike all other genitally situated cancers, the incidence of penis cancer is related to the sexual mode of transmission.[3]

Inflammation

An example of a male genital disease is orchitis.[citation needed]

Classification by location of disease

Penis

Prostate

The three most statistically frequently occurring diseases of the prostate gland are benign hyperplasia (a swelling of the gland, not due to cancerous accumulation), prostatitis (inflammation), and cancer[6] (which is the accumulation of malignant cells in the gland).[7]
